Wunderlist is where I landed 5 years ago after many failed alternatives. I like that it’s primary interface is a simple entry box with an add button. I can review my ideas periodically and add more detail. It’s very cross platform and very simple; and in the years I’ve used it the app hasn’t experienced the typical feature bloat.

I also use Wunderlist, after trying many of the other tools described on this page - text docs, paper notebooks, audio files, etc.

I think the cross-platform support is crucial, which is why I was dismayed to learn that Microsoft acquired the parent company. I don't want to be tied into a Microsoft account to use Wunderlist, or see second-rate versions of the tool become the norm for the non-Windows platforms. Strangely, Wunderlist has not been shut down nor have people been forced to migrate (yet) even though this was announced a few years back.

I still use paper notebooks from time to time, especially when I am listening to someone talking or I need to digram something out.
